			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters in Islam Allah subhanho wa Taala
accept our worship. I mean, I pray you had a fruitful first fast and ask Allah to bless all our
fasts that remain during this month. I mean, and except all our worship during the day and during
the evening, I mean, the audible and I mean, you know what we learn so much today in the turabi.
There were so many lessons who panela and perhaps one that stood out
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29
			for me,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:01:02
			is the I will losses will entitle Vartan Kalia, who do well and Asara had to be army letter home. We
Allah says that the People of the Scripture they'll never ever, ever be pleased with you never ever
be accepting of you never, ever consider you as part of their circle, until and unless you follow
their way in completion, until and unless you follow the paradigms, you make their paradigms, your
paradigms, you make their values, your values you make their civilization, your civilization you
make
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:16
			their norms, your norms, until then, they'll never ever be accepting of you. And I think this stood
out for me because it also has a relationship to the lesson we took last night about change, for the
sake of change does not actually change.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			Brothers and sisters in Islam.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			How many of us today
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			do everything in our capacity to be different
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:36
			from the sun, for the sake of trying to appease
		
00:01:38 --> 00:02:24
			people of other countries and other civilizations. Alright, how many of us go out of our way to make
their ways our way? We want to dress like them, we want to speak like them, we want to act like
them. We want to have the hairstyles, right? We want to speak the lingo. We want to have, you know,
whatever is trending with them, we want it to trend with us. Right? And we actually consider success
and failure based on how much we can adopt or not from the mannerisms of values and paradigms in our
brothers and sisters in Islam. The beginning of misguidance starts when you become in or of other
ways
		
00:02:25 --> 00:03:11
			at the expense of of being in awe of the sun. Right? If you look at idol worship, it came to the
Arabian Peninsula, when one of the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula went to these lands where
they had amazing architecture and amazing trade. And they had what they considered a civilization
and this person was in awe of it. And he saw them worshipping these idols and he decided that you
know what, let me take one of these idols back with us perhaps it will bring to us the civilization
that I am in off here in this place. So Pamela, and as time went on, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam arrives and the same Quraysh they say, Are you telling us to live that which our four
		
00:03:12 --> 00:04:00
			fathers did? Yes, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was telling them to leave the norm of
their forefathers worshipping this idol. And also the norm of being in awe of other civilizations,
and other rules and regulations, aside of the civilization and the rules, rules and regulations of
revelation of Allah subhanho wa Taala that he sent with his messengers, you know, when there'll be
no armor stood in front of them in this, this grand setting and palatial with this palatial and the
ambience, and obviously before he he gets into the policy, seeing the civilization, of the people
that he was amidst at the time, but Subhanallah he's not in all of it. He's not going to be swept
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:33
			the Why? Because he is in all of the suddenness of realization the way of Mohammed Abdullah Salalah
alayhi wa sallam so when wisdom 10s demon says, You know what is brought you out of the desert? What
is brought you in front of me, you've left the desert you've come here what what what do you want
Subhanallah because the civilizations at the time never considered the Arabs of civilization. They
were a bunch of desert bandits in the middle of the desert that had nothing and you know, we have no
interest in this place. So what has brought him in this group from this place to my palace? What do
you want
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:59
			you know, those Muslims that they never said oh, we came to see your buildings and to see your
wealth and your treasures and and your idols and, and your your economy? No, not at all. Not at all.
He says now can we've come to the origin a bad to remove the bet to remove the worshippers to remove
this evidence of Allah from worshipping
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:32
			created to worshiping the creator of everything created. Yes, we've come to, to remove you from your
oppressive policies and the policies of systems outside of the Quran and Sunnah and bring you to the
justice of Islam, the justice of the civilization and norms and ways and paradigms of the Quran and
Sunnah La Ilaha Illa. Allah brothers and sisters in Islam action point for this evening.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			We need to ponder over ourselves
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			are we a people that, you know,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			subconsciously without realizing we're actually
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:02
			doing things to, to fit in with other civilizations at the expense of the sun? How do we dress? How
do we speak? What are our values? What do we hold sacred to us? Right? what upsets us what makes us
happy? Right?
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:46
			And then look at those answers and see if you find them in the center. And if not in the center,
they know and understand you will find them somewhere else. And if that is the case, that Hampton is
not too late this way Ramadan is here. Ramadan is here to help us come back. Yvonne is here to
recalibrate us at hamdulillah. So use Ramadan, To fix this, to seek forgiveness from Allah and Rick
to recalibrate the thought to recalibrate the heart to recalibrate the soul. Right use the month in
the best way possible for our success because that is what this month has come it's a gift from a
lot to help us go to Jana. And the way to gender is via the Sunnah of the Prophet the scholars
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:51
			called the sweetness Athena to Naja it is it is the ship of
		
00:06:52 --> 00:07:16
			it is it is a savior, it is a ship that is a savior for those that are on it. The sooner the better.
Right in English we say the sooner the better. Yes, the sooner you upon The sooner, the better. I
love you all for the sake of Allah please remember me and my family and your daughter. Until next
time. Ciao bella Lamanna woman consult Allah. Amen. Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
